I'll admit, coming here from the Cerberus training pic, my first thought was: 'is that the Nemean Lion?' And then I read the comments...mildly disappointed it wasn't the Nemean Lion, but oh well, it's awesome art all the same.

I saw this picture shared on WeHeartit.com, and I am so happy that I managed to finally find you and your work! This particular piece helped inspire a type of creature in a book series I'm writing, called a Shadow Beast (very plain name for now). They are these black panther's with manes like lions, two tails and six eyes (3 on each side). They also happen to go invisible if they touch shadows. And it's so funny that the girl in this piece happens to look somewhat like the main character named Makatsa (she's got electric blue eyes, tan skin and her facial features are sharper) whose animal companion is a shadow beast named Jougan. :'D

scratch.mit.edu/projects/12790… Sorry to alert you, but there is an Art theif on the loose. PLease share to save art. Infact, you should help call out on them! They haven't stolen my art, but they've stolen yours.
